Explain to me why the following players don't face scans for 17?

This is also why Franchise players like myself and gamers that love other modes should be hapoy with the success of DD. Its only going to give them more resources to make the game better moving forward. And they have already proved they have the work ethic and drive to take advantage of their growing profit margins. The future of the Show looks very bright.

There is no money involved. It is strictly voluntary on the player's part to get a scan.

You're not looking at the big picture.

What if I am playing RTTS? I'm not going to see Trout's face in game but I will care about all of the equipment I can put on my player to make him stand out to me.

What about franchise mode? Trout could be traded, retire or me be 20+ years into the franchise...his face scan wouldn't be nearly important to me when compared to the jerseys I'd be seeing on the field every game I play.

I'd rather have multiple equipment options (let's round off and say 40 total possibilities) x 6-7 jerseys x 25 guys x 162 games versus the face scan of one player be in the game.

SCEA's math lines up in my book and to be frank, there's not to many times I can say that their logic is flawed in how they've prioritized what went into the development cycle.

Because you can't just go up to someone, demand that they put the mo-cap on (whatever they use to scan the faces), force it onto them if they say no?

If we could just edit the faces...

Ramone, I will gladly come work there for free. I love this game, I'm and artist that specializes in faces, I'd be great at mo-capping stances and deliveries.
I'm dead serious. Not that you guys aren't great at it, but it's been my dream to work there in that capacity. Not only will I do it for free (at least until i prove my worth) but I'd pay you guys for opportunity.

Pretty sure you can't edit a face scan, since it's...a scan. It wouldn't morph correctly.

He's referring to the players that don't have face scans (Abreu, Frazier, etc.).

The Todd Father finally has a video game face scan!!
